Metal Band, Cattle Decapitation Become The First Group To Come Out With a COVID Song And Video And It's AWESOME!

Cattle Decapitation's Travis Ryan (vocals) comments: "With the cancellation of our ironically titled 'Europandemic Tour' and social distancing recommendations set in place, we found ourselves with not much to do. So we figured why not address the elephant in the room in the form of a music video for 'Bring Back The Plague' and just film it on our mobile phones instead of with an actual crew. Dave didn’t even have access to a drum kit, and nobody is leaving their houses anyway, so we decided to lighten the mood with a video. Everything from the band name to the lyrics to the merchandise to the imagery have always been heavily steeped in metaphors and irony always with tongue firmly in cheek, so this new video by David Hall at Uneasy Sleeper may just be our coup de gras...for better, or for worse. Just don’t take it too seriously, we obviously didn’t. Sit back, have a laugh if you can, and stay the fuck home at all times possible."

"Bring Back The Plague" lyrics:

Yersinia Pestis!
The recurring pandemic
Not often enough it seems
For these mammalian hosts a systematic invasion is a must

These scattering rats
Their diseased existence
Earth’s megalopoli a plague focus
Eradicated with Death’s persistence

The density of the populace intensifies and modernized
The wrath of “god” bleeds from their eyes
…and like the raven this contagion keeps repeating, ever eating
humanity to nevermore

Every body a host
Every body infected
Corpses white as a ghost
Naturally selected

Black Death, you’ve found us
Your cloak surrounds us
Boundlessly drown us
in bacillus countless

Bring back the plague
Delete those that threaten a new world
Start today
Dig their graves

They’ll find a way to rid the world of finding new tomorrows
End of days
Dig those graves

Bring back the plague
Even if it means your own survival is at stake
Dig your grave

We’ll find a way to rid the world of everyone tomorrow
End of days
Dig our grave

Malignant
Virulent
Mephitic
Anthropomorphic

Pneumonic
Septicemic
Bubonic
Anthropologic
